Recovering Lost Passwords

12. Enter privileged EXEC mode and then enter the show startup-configcommand to display the passwords in the configuration file:

Router> enable

Router# show startup-config

13. Scan the configuration file displayed for the passwords (the enable and

	enable secret passwords are usually near the beginning of the file and the
	console password is near the end of the file). An example display follows:
	enable secret 5 $1$ORPP$s9syZt4uKn3SnpuLDrhuei
	enable password sand
	.
	.
	line con 0
	password seashells
	Proceed to step 14 to replace an enable secret, console, or enable pass-
	word. If there is no enable secret password, note the enable and console
	passwords, if they are not encrypted, and proceed to step 17.
C A U T I O N	Do not take the next three steps unless you have determined that you must
	change or replace the enable, enable secret, or console passwords. Failure to
	follow the steps as shown might cause you to erase your router configuration.
	14. Enter the configure memory command to modify or replace passwords
	in NVRAM:
	Router# configure memory
	15. Enter the configure terminal command to enter configuration mode:
	Router# configure terminal
	16. Change only the passwords that are necessary for your configuration.
	The following example shows how to change all three types of passwords.
	The first two lines show how to change the enable secret and enable
	passwords. The last two lines show how to change the console password:
	Router(config)# enable secret pail
	Router(config)# enable password shovel
	Router(config)# line con 0
	Router(config-line)# password con1
	For maximum security, be sure the enable secret and enable passwords
	are different.
